Include it if possible, if a particular sandwich type and similar kind of food tickles your fancy.

Pack a lunch and go on a picnic, if the weather is on the warmer end of the scale.

Bring a friend or family member along that you will have somebody to enjoy the moment with, if you are in need of company. All you need is your imagination to get things off the ground, There are many things that can be done with this pit. Ponder having a fire pit installed in or just outside your home, if you are looking for something that you can utilize even when a day off is out of the question. Use this item when you desire to spend the evening with a great book, or sip a glass of your favorite drink with a loved one. Generally, a fire pit can add an atmosphere of comfort and repose that would not be easy to accomplish by any other means. Recent reports indicate that on every 26 seconds another teenager drops out of high school.

And, in it’s even worse.

Taking a longer range view, That’s a fact, it’s estimated that approximately 12 million students will drop out over the next decade or so.

As pointed out by 20032004″ data analyzed by America’s Promise Alliance, even worse, in Detroit, only 25percentage graduated.

Specifically, nearly 1/3 of public high school students end up quitting school.

In Cleveland, only 34percentage of students graduated with their class, in Chicago only 39percentage graduated, and Indianapolis, only 30percentage graduated. Eventually, this translates to more than 3000 students per school day. Nearly half of all African American and Latino students dropout. Fewer than half of kids in 17 of the nation’s 50 largest cities graduate. On p of this, And so it’s within this context that the need to reduce the high school dropout rate becomes significant. Yes, that’s right! It’s estimated that the government should reap $ 45 billion in extra tax revenue gether with reduced cost in public health, crime, and welfare payments if the actual number of 20yearold dropouts in United States were cut going to vote as well as more going to experience reduced job and income opportunities, chronic unemployment, and incarceration.

Accordingly the impact of this situation on our nation is dire.

From my perspective as a mental health consultant, there’re three important ways if implemented will significantly reduce the dropout rate.

There’re various dropout prevention programs functioning across the United States with varying degrees of success. We will look at the three ways. That’s right! The school program must be perceived by the students as leading to higher status roles in the future and to future economic realities. It’s a well-known fact that the school programs must have a connection between their school and work either with a future career or at least with a decent paying job with the possibility of advancement after graduation. Although, every high school must be either small enough or divided into small enough units to allow teachers and staff to know the students as individuals and to respond to both their specific learning needs and learning styles. School program must be personalized, challenging, and have a feeling of community established whereby the relationship between teacher and student are supportive and trusting rather than unhelpful and distrustful.

Therefore the school program must provide the student with some choice about the nature of their academic program and what they are interested in learning. Students must have an opportunity to design independent projects, work on group projects, conduct experiments, solve ‘open ended’ problems, get involved in activities that connect school and work, and have opportunities to encounter some real psychological and practical success in their endeavors, as part of their classroom work. I’d say in case I was in a high school that connected school and work or at least connected school work with a career I was interested in, in reflecting on my experience as a former high school dropout, treated me as an individual, and, allowed me some choice in my academic program, I never would have dropped out.
